"Trade Places"
  by Ciara


*These r the things my boyfriend used to say and do to me, but I made them my words so he could see it from my point aview and see how i felt*


U called but I didnt answer because I was with him
U bitch and moan but I tell u "Bay, Dont Trip"

I call u once a week, and tell u ur the only one for me
U said because of my distance from u, ur heart is gettin weak
and u dont believe its just u and me.

I tell u that ur first
but u feel like ur last
U accuse me of messing around with a lover from my past
and I cant defend myself, rather i tell a lie or the truth, u'll laugh

U know me well
I must say that when it comes to u, I fail...
Cant get nothin past u, its like my love and actions toward u r way past due.

I know your getting tired of my games
and I cant blame u, u've been holding on
and still to this day I cant count how many tears...... (shaking my head)
u've shed for the strength of our relationship this past year

One day Ill get my shit together,
hopefully u'll hold on a lil longer
this break up to make up thing is killing u...
But U Dont Understand Me....


lol.... "These r his words but from me"


Now that he's got hisself together,
Im so confused and
... dont know if this is really what I want

I've been chasing after him for 12months, 1 week, 1 day, and 7hours exactly...

Thinkin it was destiny because we met on Thanksgiving day
but even after all the chasing, im not sure if I wanna stay

I told him 1 day I was gonna get tired, but he has become the love of my life and
I cherish the day we met to the day he met my parents and since 2 wrongs dont make a right...

By the end of this write, Ive decided not to Trade Places...
(Revenge is not always best)

Thoughts of Eddie Murphy attracted me to this piece. It is good to sometimes reverse roles and see it from the other person's point of view. I can image this reversal only pissed you off more. lol
